Networking opportunities at the 2017 EIFF

The Edinburgh international film festival (EIFF), which will be running from 21 June until 2 July 2017, is the world’s longest continuously running film festival in the world and this year is celebrating its 70th anniversary (BTW, if you need t-shirts in Scottland’s capital just give us a call).

Inspired by the current political climate in the UK, this time around the theme of the festival is ‘The Future is History’. The retrospective includes HandMade Films, some of the best science fiction movies from the first half of the 80’s decade and a selection of British animation.

The EIFF has got a long history of showing classics and at the same time promoting some of the best movies of the season, but it is also famous for supporting the Scottish, British and international film industry and creating synergies between the people who work in it.

Celebrities (Jennifer Lawrence and Sigourney Weaver have attended in the past), industry professionals and up-and-coming talents get together to share their experiences and talk about the fascinating and yet challenging business of movie making.

If you’re a filmmaker on your way to become the next Christopher Nolan, then he EIFF might just be the place for you to meet that person who will help you take your career to the next level.
